Super Silver Haze & White Widow DWC 2019

[snowbound]

Plant size is directly correlated to the size of the roots. Now that the roots are taking off you will soon see same in plant.

To reduce chance of algae, make sure light has no access to the nute solution, either down through the baskets, in reservoir, or in feed lines.

2 weeks 2 days
The rootzone on the super silver haze is looking great. Just introduce some great white to the res, hopefully it helps. Also looked like i may have the start of some algae (redish brown) maybe i will up the hydroguard too, (only using half strength) any thoughts?

hydro guard needs to be full strength mate. it isnt like a nute and doesnt get absorbed. it works just in the rootzone and needs to build an army to combat pathogens. Could the discolour be from the balls in the pots , or another source ?

Ok, just added the other 3mls ok f hydrogaurd, thanks again. It may be the clay ball, i just feel like I washed the HELL out of them. The only other thing in the res is rapid start

Update- so i threw a little great white in there and the algae stuff seems to be gone

That is good to read. Hydroguard is great too. There is an alternative version of great white that works better with dwc but i dont know what its called. I was advised to use it instead of the powdered(for soil/coco mainly).
Fingers crossed you have it managed now mate.

Yea, i was thinking about getting orca next time, as it is a liquid, and i hope its under control too. Thanks for the support and help. Fingers are crossed

2 weeks and 4 days from sprout

Idk why i am surprised. Another day another issue. I have floaters in my res again i believe from great white, will be dropping it) and this brown stuff on my roots that rinsed off with a squirt bottle. Ro unit is down and new 1 wont be here for 2 days so i cant change res... anyone kno what this brown shit is? And how to get rid of it?

 

[snowbound]

If it just rinses off can it just be a discoloration from one of your nutes?

 

[kentboy1296]

Not running nutes yet, hydrogaurd great white and rapid start. There are some white floaties in the res to (from great white i think)

 

[snowbound]

Why no nutes yet?

 

[kentboy1296]

Its the middle of week 2 from seed, i am gonna start nutes at the 3 week res change

 

[snowbound]

With the size of them I would for sure have them on nutes. Mine went on nutes the day they went under the big lights. Had EC @ 0.6. After 5-6 days moved EC up to 1.0

 

[snowbound]

You got a pic of plant from today?

 

[kentboy1296]

Yea, i started them off with 1/4 but looked like they was getting nute burn, so i backed off for a little bit... here they are today

 

[snowbound]

Yeah I would have nutes to them for sure. You got roots down out of basket.
Are you top feeding?

 

[kentboy1296]

Roots just popped yesterday and i been foliar feeding with 1/4 strength once a week then hand watering (res solution) twice a day

 

[snowbound]

Here is mine when I moved them under the big lights on March 8, EC @ 0.6, nutes pump was on for 15 mins out of each hour. This was only for first few days then 15 mins on, 15 mins off.
Second pic is this morning after reservoir change, EC @ 1.8,

 

[snowbound]

I would lay off the foliar feeding and get nutes to them.

If you are feeding from the bottom up just use a little higher level of water for the first few days till they take off then drop the level back down.

 

[kentboy1296]

They look NICE! Yea im currently in a crisis with no ro water and my unit wont be here for 2 days that's wen weekly res change is due

 

[snowbound]

I just use tap water. I let it sit for a day so it can out gas whatever is in it, Then toss it in reservoir, add nutes and ph to 5.8. Good to go.
